Chapter 119: “Could You Try Using Your Powers On Me?”

Then Chiyo said, her voice soft but filled with quiet admiration as she looked between Akane and Hanako with wide, sparkling eyes,

"You two are really amazing... even to the society you guys are high level individuals, unlike us low level people."

She sat on the edge of her chair, small hands resting on her knees as she leaned forward slightly, her cute face glowing with genuine wonder.

In Japan, people with supernatural powers were considered more important than normal people like her and Rin.

Those with innate abilities were often recruited by organizations, given special privileges, and treated with a mix of respect and caution.

They could shape the world around them naturally, their powers flowing effortlessly from within.

Normal people without such gifts had to rely on learned magic: studying complex spells, memorizing incantations, drawing precise symbols, and practicing for years just to achieve small effects.

It was like the difference between breathing and having to consciously control every inhale.

Chiyo herself could produce flames somewhat like what Akane did, but it required intense focus, long chants, and careful calculations — exhausting work that often left her drained after just a few minutes. Rin was different, though.

He was naturally stronger in everything.

He didn’t need to call out most incantations; his magic responded to his will instantly, flowing through him with raw power and precision that made others look like they were struggling with training wheels.

He had many more advantages — faster recovery, higher limits, and an almost instinctive mastery that made him stand out even among those with powers.

Chiyo spoke with a hint of wistful acceptance, her small shoulders rising and falling in a soft sigh as she glanced at her brother, clearly aware of the gap between "normal" people and those blessed with natural talent.

The modest living room felt warmer as she talked, the afternoon light casting soft golden patches across the wooden floor and highlighting the simple furniture around them.

Then Chiyo said to Hanako, her eyes lighting up with sudden excitement as she leaned even closer, "Could you try using your powers on me?"

She wanted Hanako to use her powers on her, her cute face tilting slightly as she looked directly at the older girl with pure, innocent curiosity.

Her small hands clasped together under her chin, her ponytail swaying gently as she waited, clearly fascinated by the idea of experiencing Hanako’s ability firsthand.

Her bright expression was full of trust and eagerness, making it hard for anyone to refuse.

But Hanako said, shaking her head quickly with a nervous smile,

"What?.. No no no it’s not just that, this could turn out bad if not worse."

Her voice was calm but firm, her long black hair shifting as she sat up straighter on the couch, her dark eyes showing genuine concern.

She knew her power — making someone fall in love with her by looking at them and making them do her bidding — wasn’t something to use lightly.

It could create real emotional complications, especially on someone as innocent and trusting as Chiyo.

Hanako’s cardigan sleeve brushed against Akane’s arm as she tried to explain without revealing too much, her posture elegant but protective as she leaned back slightly, trying to discourage the idea gently.

But Chiyo continued asking, her cute face looking directly at Hanako with wide, pleading eyes and a small, hopeful pout.

She tilted her head slightly, her small hands clasped tighter as she begged softly, her voice sweet and persistent, making it almost impossible to refuse.

The way her ponytail swayed and her bright expression shone with excitement made her look even more adorable, her innocent curiosity shining through every word as she leaned closer, her small body practically vibrating with anticipation.

Then Hanako, who couldn’t say no to this cute face, finally agreed with a soft sigh and a reluctant smile.

"Ok ok just this once okay."

She adjusted her posture on the couch, her long black hair falling smoothly over her shoulders as she prepared herself, clearly still hesitant but unable to resist Chiyo’s charm.

Her dark eyes softened as she looked at the younger girl, a small, fond smile tugging at her lips despite her reservations.

Then Chiyo, with a bright smile that lit up her entire face, nodded her head eagerly.

"Really really?? Thanks!"

She bounced slightly in her seat, her small body vibrating with happiness as she clapped her hands once, clearly thrilled at the chance to experience something new and special from her brother’s friends.

Her ponytail swung with the movement, her eyes sparkling as she sat up straighter, ready and excited.

Then Hanako looked directly into Chiyo’s eyes.

A shining light blue love-shaped glow appeared deep in Chiyo’s eyeballs as she stared back directly into Hanako’s glowing blue eyes.

The effect was subtle but mesmerizing — in Chiyo’s inner eyeballs, a glowing blue love-shaped light bloomed softly, pulsing gently like a heartbeat, spreading a warm, affectionate haze through her gaze.

In Hanako’s eyeballs, it was just a circular glowing blue light, steady and hypnotic, drawing Chiyo in without effort.

The two girls locked eyes for several long seconds, the living room growing quieter as the power took hold.

Chiyo’s cheeks flushed a soft pink, her small hands gripping the edge of the couch as a dreamy, affectionate expression spread across her cute face.

The glowing lights reflected faintly in the afternoon sunlight filtering through the curtains, creating a beautiful, almost ethereal moment between them as the love-shaped glow in Chiyo’s eyes pulsed brighter for a moment before settling into a steady, warm shine.

The modest living room felt even warmer now, the conversation flowing naturally as the girls continued chatting.

Muganda occasionally glanced from the kitchen with a calm smile, Yuri peeked from the bedroom door with curious red eyes, Karen leaned closer to Dracula’s tablet with excited little noises, and Inferna remained in the corner, her golden eyes still narrowed in mild displeasure at how close Akane and Hanako were sitting to Rin.

The atmosphere was warm and lively, the earlier tension slowly easing into comfortable conversation as Chiyo enjoyed having visitors, her innocent curiosity bringing smiles to everyone’s faces despite the complicated feelings lingering beneath the surface.

Rin remained silent between Akane and Hanako, his calm blue eyes staring ahead as he let the girls talk, the peaceful afternoon unfolding in unexpected ways around him while the faint sounds of the apartment continued in the background.
